Welcome to Gaia! ::

1. Where do Purewalkers come from? Purewalkers come from the center of a dark burial ground from within a cursed tree. It's speculated that they come straight from the underworld, cuz they're so darn eeeevil. The portal tree was crafted by Oyohusa, who used to be a nice Shaman until the voodydoo got him.

2. Is a Purewalker ever allowed to make a close bond or fall in love with another? If so, what are the exceptions to the rules? If not, what keeps them from such a thing? Purewalkers don't fall in love, that's a silly concept, only devised by the weak. Sometimes they'll fake it to get strong offspring from the other and leave post haste. They're too bend on destruction to have anything more than a unstable relationship with ANYTHING.


Name: Kitiara
Temper: Loathing
Personality: Kit seems to hate everything, she has always been a dark soul, even among skinwalkers she is known for her intense dislike of anything that slithers through her line of vision. When confronted she's as catty as her feline self, sneaking, hunting, ripping, tearing and yowling through anything in her path. Her cat like tenacity and playfulness when killing things is feared among lesser beings in her domain. She's very determined to make her shady goals come true, no matter what she has to do or who she has to kill, she spends much of her time lurking in the cliffs thinking of ways to achieve them. She has one qualm about being a complete berserker and that is she's very prideful of her white coat, if she's to maul everything in her path, she prefers her bobcat form so as not to soil her pearly pelt.

Brief History: Kit left the graveyard and it's tree pretty quikly, not enjoying the company of other purewalkers, and even less the acrid stink of the skinwalkers. Such torn creatures, never to be one thing or the other.
She soon found an area that suited her purpose as well as her felines interest and settled there, far away from anything that could possibly bother her in her hunts. She ventures from the cliffs from time to time to take on more interesting prey.

What is this character currently doing in the Kawani? Kit has been here for a while, after coming from the graveyard, she decided she wanted no attention from any of it's inhabitants. She just prefers to be the monster in the cliffs rather than a threat through the whole land. The cat in her prefers rocky terrain and hidey holes, lovely places to ambush her prey.

1. Where do Purewalkers come from?
Oyohusa, the evil Skinwalker that was once a kind and gentle shaman before the darkness swallowed up his heart and turned it black and he started to use the powers the spirits gave him for wicked, selfish things. Once his revenge was complete, he decided to complete his bargain. After he took the energy from the burial ground, he made the tree in the center as a portal to the underworld where they were originally created in.

2. Is a Purewalker ever allowed to make a close bond or fall in love with another? If so, what are the exceptions to the rules? If not, what keeps them from such a thing?
They can do no such thing for sense they were made out of evil, they are truly evil, meaning they can hardly do it. The only thing that goes through their minds are corruption, revenge, hatred, and more that is involved in the underworld. To others that are not of their kind, they are unholy offspring from Dark Spirit in the underworld are enemies with them.


Name: Keṭṭa Anma (means "Bad Soul" in Tamil)
Temper: Vile
Personality:
Is a twisted and hateful creature that torments others in her path. She makes herself known as the "Dealer of Darkness", meaning if she decides to give one Soq a chance at surviving, she must cut a deal with them. She always likes to keep a good watch on the ones she makes deals with, and she might even acquire a helper to keep they eyes on them in case. She is cunning and cruel, and hardly cares who she sinks her claws into.
Brief History:
She was never born or raised in the Overworld for she was actually created instead. When it was her time to enter the surface, she greeted it with a twisted deal that she made with a Soq; she gave it a familiar in return for their service.
What is this character currently doing in the Kawani? She has far and wide travel sites. She mostly hangs around the forest and at the edges of the Eastern Swamp because it is close to her top spot; the Cursed Graveyard. Sometimes, she will go past Big Oak Grove, despising it as she heads to have some longed alone-time with herself upon the shadows of the Secluded Grotto. Rarely she will venture even to the open plains and places farther off.





1. Where do Cursed Skinwalkers Come from and is there any way to stop the Curse or redeem them afterwards?
The evil tree that is also their portal from the underworld that is in the center of the Cursed Graveyard; and NO, there is no way to redeem yourself from the curse and you can't stop it for it is against the Skinwalker rules and doing so, you will be suggested to try a different breed, like Kalona.

2. Where do skinwalkers get their pelts and can they take them off?
Once the curse takes affect, the Soq kills the nearest animal with a good pelt and once on their backs, becomes a Skinwalker; and they can never take off their pelts once they place them.


Name: Ti Tetli Nilal (means "Deathly Shade" in Tamil)
Temper: Cruel
Personality:
Is a sassy smart-mouth that always picks fights with her so-called "brother". She is a huge pain and always loves to wrestle and fight, no matter who it is. She considers herself the type to not be messed with because her temper consists in dangerously high levels, and it goes even higher when see non-pelted ones.
Brief History:
She hated that she could always hear the muffled screams which started when she was cursed. As her life went on before that, well, its a different story. During her time by herself in a tree for several months when she became her animal form after she became cursed, she tried to eat the leaves but ended up hacking them up and killing tree-living rodents that were near her for food. At the end of isolation, it drove her insane, making her mind more devilishly corrupt than she was when the curse was complete.
How Were They Cursed?
Nilal was a crazy, mad girl ever sense she was a foal. Her parents at first thought she was going to be a good girl like the rest of her goody-goody family until they realized she was demented when she stabbed one of her siblings in the leg with a sharp stick. When they gave of hope on fixing her by the time she was an adult, they left her twisted self behind on the migratory journey to find new feeding grounds. She spent most of her days hunting critters for joy until she took a dare to go into the graveyard and touch the tree. Completing that with Naccu, she ignored the screams she heard after touching the tree, which was a myth. At midnight when she returned back to her place, she heard the growling of a bobcat as it walked towards her but it kept its distance for it knew what was happening to her that she didn't till it was too late. After a stabbing pain, she went temporarily blind and heard muffled, endless screaming till she snapped and tore at the cat till it was nothing but blood, bones, meat and a pelt which she placed on her back and became cursed.
What is this character currently doing in the Kawani? Until further things come up for her in me brain, she just hangs around in the forest and floodplains near the village, scaring them and attacking them at night now and then.





1. Does a cursed skinwalker ever feel regret or remorse about their 'new' life after they change?
Hardly. Once the curse is complete, it changes it from wanting it to stop to desiring for it to get better for them.

2. If a cursed skinwalker is reunited with his old family or loved ones, what sort of reaction would we expect to see from the skinwalker?
In this case, the skinwalker will either keep on a low level of insanity if he is preparing to slaughter them one-by-one but if he wants them dead quickly, he would either corner them and become his animal form and kill them, make weapons and hit them with it, pinning them in any place then snap their necks and feast on them, but in my case i would chase them all until they obtain critical wounds that would kill them, break their legs and leave them to lay there and die, being a feast for the other carnivorous wildlife.


Name: Naccu Visattai
Temper: Insane
Personality:
Is a stallion that is completely out of his mind, taking risks and going passed his limits and expectations; to sum it up, he likes to think like an idiot when it comes to boring stuff. He has a short-term memory so he could forget a lot of stuff.
Brief History:
He can never remember his past, just the night he took the dare with Nilal and becoming a skinwalker.
How Were They Cursed?
He was still the same like he was now, just less evil. He one day encountered Anma and made a deal with her when he was about to die after getting attacked by a bobcat that looked like him: In return with staying alive he was to become a skinwalker that was cursed. Stupidly, he accepted and killed the mangy cat and put the pelt on, just hardly felt the affects till he woke up several days later in the same place and actually ate a little girl that was asleep when she found him.
What is this character currently doing in the Kawani? Just wandering around, being arrogant and stupid. And evil.

1. Where do Purewalkers come from?
A tree in a cursed graveyard; linking to a whole other world...

2. Is a Purewalker ever allowed to make a close bond or fall in love with another? If so, what are the exceptions to the rules? If not, what keeps them from such a thing?
What? No. Purewalkers are too chaotic-evil!



Name: Keta
Temper: Arrogant
Personality: Keta is a self rightous, vindictive, well, she-wolf. She pretty well resents everyone for some reason or another, always puts herself above. Everyone, and thus, everything, exists to please her, including other skin and purewalkers, making it rare she even bothers to work for someone. She has no trouble enslaving others, working them to exhaustion, then repeating the process come morning; after all, broken goods are stupid, pointless...

She's smart. Too smart. She knows how to do things, how to torment, give nightmares... And she has no problem eating other Soquili in front of families, either...
Brief History: Keta does not recal her foalhood, or much before entering this world... Perhaps, in a sense, by choice. The Soquili here, and the dumb two-legs giving them a cushy lifestyle, are too fun to torment, tease, devour alive, squaling, screaming, and kicking... She lives on fear, after all...

Crying and fear drive her and she's become something of an ill-fate, posing as a ghost-cat or perhaps even using her cat form to lure her victims, and kill them. She leaves but barely a breeding population, before moving on, moving to her next target. And now she's coming for the Kawani...
What is this character currently doing in the Kawani? Haunting the village and area around in feline form. She kills various people and Soquili when hungry, and tends to be considered a harbringer of death. Very unlikely they know she's a Purewalker yet, but if you guess, you gun' die anyhow. Oh well.

Oh, and she might try eating a few folks alive. Just sayin'.

1. Where do Cursed Skinwalkers Come from and is there any way to stop the Curse or redeem them afterwards? Cursed skin walkers come from a tree in the center of a graveyard. Of course this tree is evil, because it turns the inflicted Soquili into a loveless, angry, evil monster. There is NO way to stop the curse or redeem them.

2. Where do skinwalkers get their pelts and can they take them off? Skinwalkers get their pelts from animals that are near them when they are first cursed. They can't take their pelts off.


Name: Niacin
Temper: murderous
Personality: insane
Brief History: Pellagra and Niacin were born to a happy couple of soquili. Unfortunately, after giving birth to Pellagra, the twins' mother died, leaving the two little ones to a horribly broken and angry father. Because her mother died after giving birth to Pellagra, the father blamed it all on her. He favored her sister, and abused Pellagra. She was raised on hate, and therefore grew to hate the world. Pellagra's mind began to warp, and others who knew the family called her "the evil child" and it was not uncommon for her to be referred to as "demon." However, her sister, Niacin, was comforting, and as her personality was directly opposite of Pellagra's, she kept her calm. Until the day that Pellagra's crazy mind created the idea that if she killed her sister and drank of her blood, she would absorb her inclination toward love and caring. She would no longer be insane.
How Were They Cursed? She killed her sister, and drank her blood, and declared that she would assume her sister's name, to fully become her. The other Soquili and her father, believing her to be insane and horrid, condemned her to the graveyard containing the tree. She gladly accepted her fate, as all she wanted was to be away from those who hated her so...but at a great price.
What is this character currently doing in the Kawani? Because of her insanity, and being cursed, she believes that she did not fully kill her sister and that she is still alive, and the only way to escape her crazy mind is to kill her sister. So she searches for her endlessly.

1. Where do Purewalkers come from?
Oyohusa the once kind shaman who turned evil created them. They come into the Kawani lands via a portal of sorts in the Indian Burial Ground that was tainted by Oyohusa's evil.

2. Is a Purewalker ever allowed to make a close bond or fall in love with another? If so, what are the exceptions to the rules? If not, what keeps them from such a thing?
Purewalkers like all skinwalkers are sinisterly and purely evil. They might for a time consider working with someone else to further their goals in the world but more often than not prefer to be alone, work alone, and live alone. They are solitary creatures incapable of love. The only time they would consider being with another emotionally is strictly lust.


Name: Alvina
Temper: Cunning
Personality: Alvina is evil in and of itself. She sacrifices young soquili beneath the full moon in hopes of finding the voice that speaks to her. Her god. In all honesty she is utterly mad and her god is nothing more than a voice in her head that calls for blood and sacrifice. She is a silent hunter preferring to stalk her prey in the darkness of night.
Brief History: Alvina was brought into this world through Oyohusa's portal within the graveyard. She awoke to the bitter cold of the ground beneath her and the sound of ravens calling overhead. The moment her eyes opened the voice spoke to her. 'Kill.' It called. Wanting to obey her God she moved quickly and found a young foal that was wandering alone. Killing the little one in cold blood she bathed in its life force calling to her God, pleading if she had done well. The voice purred in self satisfaction and went quiet for a time. Contemplating her life and why she was here. She only knew to kill young soquili and bathe in their life forces, ensuring to paint herself with the ancient symbols she somehow knew she feels she draws in their spirit and gives it to her god. She is utterly mad in all reality and many who see her stay out of her way.
What is this character currently doing in the Kawani? Sacrificing the beloved babies of other soquili to her mad gods adoration has grown old. She is currently hunting for something to keep the voice from screaming so often for killing so many has become difficult. Many know her and stay far away these days.

1. Where do Purewalkers come from?
They come from the death of a animal who has a score to settle. Due to this fact Purewalkers often are seen as evil as their soul is not full of their own thoughts and often are blinded by motives of the dead creature within them.

2. Is a Purewalker ever allowed to make a close bond or fall in love with another? If so, what are the exceptions to the rules? If not, what keeps them from such a thing?
They are able to make a close bond with another, though as they not a lone soul it maybe due to actions of the spirit of the deceased within them. They often go into states of possession to fulfill the dead's wish, and during that time they are not conscious which can lead to relationships formed without them being aware. Once the deed is fulfill they can remain and have a pure relationship.

2. Is a Purewalker ever allowed to make a close bond or fall in love with another? If so, what are the exceptions to the rules? If not, what keeps them from such a thing?
Purewalkers have enough control to plot and plan. There are rumors of packs of skinwalkers that lay waste to everything in their path. So even if it is allowed. It is rare to find purewalkers with close bonds or falling in love with each other.
Purewalkers are monsters through and through with no resentment or struggle with their twisted nature. This being said they are violent and agressive towards everything and everyone. With this violent and agressive nature it would be hard to form close bonds and to fall in love. Unless you are talking about the love for blood.


Name: Akutenshi
Temper: Vengeful
Personality: Akutenshi is like a vengeful spirit and is always looking for her next victim. SHe takes the game cat and mouse to higher levels and enjoys it more then one should. But the blood she finds at the end game is the treat she seeks. Nothing can stop her and she is more then happy to kill whatever tires.
Brief History: My twins Shadow and Tsumetai lost their parents to a feline skinwalker. They were baskets and were well hidden. But Akutenshi who killed their parents knew that were hiding something. She looked for what felt like forever. At last there was no sigh of a thing in the area. This wasn't going to stop her. Even if she has to come back later down the road to find it. Then she would do so.
What is this character currently doing in the Kawani? She is looking for the two who got away. She had killed a mare flutter and a unicorn stallion a year or two back. Having the feeling that the couple she killed was hiding something that she couldn't find then. She just had to return and have another look.
